Ummmm, you are talking about Google right?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cb5ab207f8b9a996ecc0000BusinessUnsiderWed, 13 Oct 2010 08:50:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cb5ab207f8b9a996ecc0000
"Will they someday soon find themselves back at the company, working for Mayer?"
You all really need to do some reporting behind the headlines. The whole Dodgeball thing is well know, but Marissa is well-known inside Google for being a terror to work for: insecure, controlling, etc. One story I heard from a Googler is that she flew him to MTV for a job interview and met with him for just minutes, talking about her cheerleading days in high school (as she insisted on meeting on potential hires for her extended team). Dig behind the cupcakes and blonde locks to see what's really up.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cb4eab27f8b9af0026a0000geroge pTue, 12 Oct 2010 19:09:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cb4eab27f8b9af0026a0000
What a joke. They had the team and technology internally but now they like it? Anything that does not move the revenue needle gets ignored. BTW, Groupon has a much better local model.
